57 Talents (2/2)

Yang Chen walked through the streets of the clan compound, only several clan members took notice of him.

”Hey, isn't that the child of the Punishment Hall elder?”

”Is it the genius one?”

”No, I think it's the trash one, what was his name again?”

”I also don't remember”

”Me too, but it's only normal, he's a trash anyway”

Yang Chen gritted his teeth when he heard all of those comments. That's right, he was one of children of the Punishment Hall elder.

The Punishment Hall Elder's job is to punish everyone who committed crimes against the clan. He left his father's house 5 Months Ago and rented his own apartment with his self earned money.

Yang Chen left his father's house because of one big problem, his siblings. They always have bullied him since the day his talents were revealed.

In every year, there is a ceremony held by the entire higher ups of the clan, it is called The Talent Assessment Test.

Talents are separated by 5 Different realms, Red, Yellow, Silver, Gold, Diamond.

Yang Chen got the worse talent, Red. His elder siblings all got Gold talent, which made him the center of ridicule.

As a Red talent, the best thing he can achieve in cultivation is Gold Core stage, at least that's what they told him.

After the Talent Assessment Test, they would be sent to the academy.

The academy here teaches about how to cultivate or loyalty to the clan, sometimes they give special prizes for those who get high grades.

Yang Chen never got the chance to receive one of those ”Special Prize” that's because, he was always late for the academy because of his part time jobs, which resulted him having no knowledge of the thing they learned before. His trash talent also resulted him being left out by the children his age.

The gold coins he had was his whole life savings, which can make him live comfortably for around 5 to 6 years if he was a regular mortal.

Yang Chen walk inside into one of the buildings in the clan. This is a rented room apartment, he can rent a room only for himself for a cheap price. Two silvers a month, that's all.

He went inside his room and laid down on his hard wooden bed. There was not that much furnitures in his room, just a table, chair and a bed.

The Wolf was too big to fit inside his room, so he let it wander around for a bit.

”I really have to thank Mister the next time I see him” He reminded himself.

”It's because of him that my life started to change into a bright one” Yang Chen said with a soft smile.

He then started to frown ”Father and Mother always favored my big brother and sister because of their talents, if both of them didn't have that talent, would they still love me?” He asked himself in loneliness.

Pak!

He slapped himself in the face with both of his hands and said with determination ”It doesn't matter whether they love me or not, as long as I prevail, everything would be alright”

”I will be a strong Cultivator, like Mister said” He said with confidence.

Yang Chen wiped his loneliness with the thought of Michael, he promised himself that one day, he will be strong enough to leave his clan.
